Some days ago, according to the
police reports, burglars Effected an
entrance into Isaac Wise's. No. 81
Poydras street, and opened the safe.
but found nothing. Next morning
the employees Of the house, on open.
ing the store. immediately discovered
that the premises had been entered
during the night and the books of
the firm destroyed. They also found
a little biIlhead, on the back of
which was written when we find
no money we destroy the books"
These lines were supposed to be the
work Of one OF the burglars. De
tectives LittIeton and Mauberret
were placed on the case, and after
making a thorough investigation dis
covered that no burglars had entered
the building, but that the firm had
been Systematically robbed by o
clerk named Albert keiifer, who, for
the purpose Of hiding his crime, had
entered the store at night aud des-
troyed the books and then left the
lines Oh the back Of the billhcad to
divert suspicion. When keiifcr
found that the detectives were on
his track he jumped the town.

That $4,000 Kses and ssEe State
Treasury.

4 few days since there was an
offer of q bet concerning the result
of the next state election, That g
bet is a tools argument is a
aphorism as old as the time since
when men had money to bet. We
need not here suggest, The first
suggestion Of this bet that we speak
of was an intimation that some I'M
known cotton merchant had $1,000
to back the. proposition that Gen
eral Francis T. Nichols would not
carry a majority OF the delegation
out Of the parish OF Orleans in the
next nominating convention. That
was regardad a very good bet By
The Nichols adhorents. The party
who offered the wager. however,
did not prove q Carondelet street
merchant, but Colonel Bob Rivers,
Of the st. Charles Hotel. When
file Nichols champion put up not
only the $1,000, but offered to don-
bic the sum and make it $4,000 each
side, the offer was accepted. and 1t
was proclaimed that the $4,000 was
deposited in an envelope and put
in the hands Of depositaries TO await
the result. 1t was a little surpris-
ing that Colonel Rivers should have
stepped into the arena nuder the
circumstances, since he thereby
places himself in q very awkward
position in his relations to the state.
1t is we'll known that Colonel
Rivers is a lessee Of State property.
Act No. 40 Of 1854 authorized the
the governor of the state, s. d. Nc
Emery, to lease the old st. Louis
Hotel, now known as the Hotel
Royal, at AN annual rental Of not
les than $4,000, payable quarterly,
upon the receipt OF the governor and
for a term not exceeding fifty years,
tie lease to be nontranslerabie," etc.
The lessee was to give good and
solvent security, Now tseems that
Colonel Rivers has not paid one
cent OF rent on this property belong.
ing to the State sine Decemhe 1855,
Auditor Steele informed our rep
resentative yesterday that Colonel
Rivers IN answer to Il dun" from
his department said he had no funds
with which to pay. Here is a
spectacle which shows Of what stuff
this MeEnery backing is made. Here
is a man who owes the State $1,000
rental for property on 4 contract
signed by the governor, and which
that governor has made 40 pretense
Of collecting. Not only that, but
this party who is indebted to the
State for $4,000, which the governor
has let go by default, actually comes
forward and offers to bet a portion
Of that sum to make a public senti-
ment that would help keep that
governor in Office.
Money Withheld fromthe State treas.
ury on a contract which was made
recently with the governor, under the
statute, and which that governor
was authorized to see collected, is
put up to keep such a governor in
office. 1t is one OF the most bare
faced pieces Of cfFrontery that has
come within our knowledge in this
State, whose government OF late
years has been so loose and wanton.
We cannot conceive of anything
which could rally the friends OF
decent and honest government in
Louisiana to greater cXcrtions than
such exhibitions of bad government
and fostering Of ring operations 10

There is a proposed railroad from
Brinkley, Ark, to Alexandria, La,
to assist in building which the citi-
zens of the latter place have taxed
themselves a 5 mill tax for ten years
Tor the road, and 5 mill tax for three
years 70 purchase thirty acres Of
land for terminals 1t was once
stated by q distinguished English
baron that a railroad laid down in
any part Of the United States wontd
be a paying institution, and the truth
Of his statement is being fully con-
Grmed by practical experiment.
In this connection we will state
that a straight line connecting Able
Vile and Alexandria would pass
through, or very near, the following
places: Scots Station. in Lafayette
parish; Prud'homme city and Belle
Cheney Springs, in st. Landry par
ish, and Lecomptc, in Rapides parish,
the distance being about one hundred
miles. 1t would also pass neal to
Vile Platte and P~laquemine Brulee.
A railroad built on this line would
intersect a good region Of country,
not now convenient to market or to
transportation, and at Alexandria
would meet the pew road now being
surveyed to Brinkley, Ark, and
thence directly OF through Kansas,
and form a direct and short commu-
nication with the great Northwest.
BY such a road we could find a
direct and short route to a good
market for our sugar, molasses, rice,
early potatoes and vegetables, and
get our -four and bacon more direct
and much cheaper than by the round
about way Of New Orleans. We
could then sell our produce directly
from the producer, thus saving a
large amount Of the profits now
taken by the middle men. Direct
trade with the Northwest would be,
no doubt, q big thing, and an e2ten-
sion Of the road to Abbevillc might
probably be secured by an effort on
the part Of its citizens and The people
of Alexandria.
Railroads create and develop the
resources Of a country by opening
all the avenues to the wealth of its
productions. Thus it will be seen
that when we become encircled by a
network of railroads, this portion
of the State will be a garden spot,
inhabited by q prosperous and
wealthy people. TO develop the

The New Orleans Chronicle is

for its efforts to secure the opening

pcct Of securing to this section this
great boon at an early day to be
very favorable:
Congressman e. J. Gay au-
thorizes the statement that Bayou
P%laquemine will be opened, and VIC
have reason to know that all of

preparation at the next session of

to allow the passage of steamers to

producing large quantities Of sugar,
cotton, Lumber and agricultural
crops Of all kinds, will cheaper the
freights and increase the commerce,
most of which will be tributary to
this city. The opening Of Bayou
Plaquemine is a common sense bus.
mess measure, required to secure a
healthy competition between the
steamboats, and railroads as public
